The museum row in 2020 focused on the project’s collaboration with the Inner Mongolia Museum in Hohhot, China. Chinese authorities demanded that certain words, including “Genghis Khan”, “empire” and “Mongol”, be taken out of the French show.
So… China was okay with an exhibit on Genghis Kahn and the Mongol empire, as long as it didn’t contain the words “Genghis Khan”, “Mongol” or “empire”. Sure! That sounds sane, reasonable, and motivated purely by academic interests!
